The Latest and Greatest Discovery.

DIR. J. DE PRATIS HAMBURG
FIGS,-A crystalized fruit cathartic.
A discovery of the greatest interest
to the Medical Profession. A boon
to every household. A most delicious
laxative or purgative prepared from
fruits and vegetables. So perfectly
harmless that they may be admins
tered with entire safety to an infant.
So efficacious to adults that a single
dose will prove their value, and SO
elegant preparation that it needs
only to be presented to the public
to become a necessity in every
household throughout the land.
For liver complaints, habitual con-
stipation, indigestion, dyspepsia and
piles, they are a specific. To trav-
elers by sea and land they will be
found invaluable; they are positive
ly unfailing in their action, and this
is the only medicine ever offered to
the public that is acceptable to the
taste, and so pleasant that children
will eat the figs as eagerly as candy.
For sale by every Druggist through
out the world. Price, 25 cents box.

OF iron and steel of all kinds, ac-
cording to the Reoue deS Mines, the
tin-plate makers Of England now con-
sumo 100000 tons year. At rough
calculation, this would be enough to
roof shed extending from New York
to Liverpool, and wide enough for the
EtTuriG and the UmbTiG to pass
each other at any point, with room to
spare; but it seems that a very large
part, instead of being used for roofing,
which is an exclusively American
method of employing the material, is
consumed in making cans for preserv-
ing meats, fruits and vegetables. Oi
these the number turned out is SO
enormous as to be almost beyond be-
lief. In 1886, s75,OOO,OOO are known
to have been made, and there may
have been millions more which es
capped counting Next to the refec
ton as to what all these contained, the
most interesting inquiry which this
piece of statistics suggests is what be-
comes of all the empty cans. Millions
of them are thrown into the sea, and
sink or are cast on desert shores; and
millions more find their way to the
rubbish heaps which fill low lands and
excavations, but there are myriadi
unaccounted for. In Egypt, it is said
that the Arabs pick up the large rec.
tangular cans in which coal oil is ex
ported to them, FL them with sand
and build very comfortable house
with them, but the cylindrical cal
does not lend itself very well t,
architectural purposes, and the worlt
still awaits the inventor who shall tel
it how to utilize to advantage tn,
cast-off evidence of modern ciyiliza
tion.

Further Regarding the Oldest Pioneer

Regarding Capt. Winant's article
in yesterdays AsToRIAN about Jean
Baptiste Gargnier and the year he
came to this country, ex- postmaster
Chance, in a conversation yesterday
morning with the writer relative to
pioneers, said that he remembered
distinctly travelling with Gargnier in
1854; that while camped about seven
miles from Yaquina, Gargnier told
him that he came here from the Red
river country in 1929. As this hap
pened to be the year that he (Chance)
was born, he claimed that they both
came to the United States the same
year. He further cites the testimony
Of Joseph Lafferty, of Cathlamet,
whose death at the great age of nine
ty-nine was announced in The AsTo-
RIAN about two weeks ago. He says
that on two occasions, in conversation
with Lafferty, Gargnier's name came
up, and he Lafferty) said that Garg-
nier and he came together, with q
large crowd of others, from the Red
river country in 1929.

Same Way Here.

In yesterdays issue a statement
was published that g. w. Hunt, the
railroad contractor, had arranged for
1000 Cinnamon to work on the ex.
tension of the Oregon Pacific east
ward from the Santiam. "Mr. Hunt
cannot get 1000 Cinnamon in this
town at present." said a Chinese con-
tractor last evening. "The Southern
Pacific took all the men it could gel
and put them to work in southern
Oregon and northern California
Those who have been working in the
Columbia river canneries will do fall
fishing at Yaquina Bay, Gray's Har-
Dor, Coos Bay, Shoalwater and other
places. There are not over 1000
Cinnamon in Portland, and they are
principally merchants and others
who do not have TO work for lv-
ing."-Telegrdm.

The gold held by the treasury in
its vaults at Washington weighs 5l9
tons. If packed into ordinary carts,
one ton to each cart, it would make
procession two miles long, allowing
twenty feet of space for the movement
of each horse and cart. The silver IN
the same vaults weighs 1896 tons
Measuring it in carts, as in the case oi
the gold, it would require the services
of 1896 horses and carts to transport
it and would make a procession Oyer
twenty-one miles in length.

THE END OF 1T.
How the Skinner-Struve Foot Race Swim
die Terminated.

Many of the readers of the T'ele-
gram will no doubt remember the
Skinner-Struve foot race run here in
February, and also how about $500
OF the stake money vanished, which
resulted in the Imprisonment of one
of the principals, E. s. Skinner, In the
county Jail for some time.
After Skinner had been locked mp
several months, and living upon the
best the market afforded, the district
attorney allowed him to 60 on his own
recognizance. This was two or three
months ago, and since his liberation
Skinner has been engaged in gam
bling, from which source, it is said, he
realized about $4,000.
Some knowing ones do not hesitate
to state that Skinner did not win
$1,000, but IL he has that sum the
bulk OF it is comprised of the g., 500
stolen money that is missing. How
ever, be that as it may, a week or two
since Skinner told the district attor-
ney that he wanted to go California,
but that official informed him that he
could not do so until he had stood
trial on the Indictment against him
for alleged larceny. Skinner, though,
paid no attention to the district at
torney and went to California, where
he is now supposed to be, and it is
very doubtful as to whether the
charge against him will ever be heard
of again.
This foot race swindle somewhat
beclouded the reputation OF f. G.
Lynch, the stake holder, for a time
But a Telegram reporter is now in
possession of the real facts in the
case. Lynch was made cat's-paw oi
by both sides in the race. After the
race was run, Skinner demanded the
money OF Lynch, but he refused to
give il up until he was instructed Il
do so by the other side. Subsequent,
Strive, SINNERS opponent, instruct
ed Lynch, in the presence Of the lat
ter's barkeeper, to pay the stake:
over to Skinner, and he did so. Lynch
got himself into trouble just by &C
cepting trust out of which he didn'
make dollar. This is the exact stat,
} of the case.-Telegrdn.

is growing no more wheat, cotton,
corn or hogs, has less sheep and only
IL per cent. more milch COWS than

An early morning start brings us
first TO the flower market. Whole fam
lilies seated about are busily engaged in
arranging flowers of rare beauty and
fragrance. The flower girls. with their
olive compilations and brilliant eyes of
Jet, their white teeth, beautiful hair in
long braids carelessly swung over well
rounded shoulders, with skirts gath
cred short to the uncorse.ed waist,
nimbly ply their delicate fingers 50
rapidly that they weave bouquets as
it were by magic, the roses. the lilies
and the forget.me-nots dropping into
their places and forming garlands and
wreaths of endless variety. Then to
the market square, lei the palace,
where a jabbering throng Of lazy men
and loosely dressed women, with ro-
bust voices, implore you to purchase
almost every article of household ne
cessity, including fruits and vegetables.
Water carriers. with their earthen
jars slung over their heads, are passing
to and fro, delivering the morning
supply of water from house to house.
The little burro, that tiny quadruped

ter and he stops short to nibble at the
nearest thing at hand, be 1t an old shoe
or a tin can. The question was once
asked, "Can a burro driver be a Chris
tianp" the answer being, "He might If
he tried very hard, but he would have
to give up driving burros."

The Cellar in Summer.

at this season the cellar must be
kept cool, dry, ventilated and clean.
The doors must be closed as much as
possible during the day, but they may
be opened about midnight, and remain
open until early morning. During the
latter. half of the night the air is cool,
and air must be admitted to keep the
cellar dry and pure, If kept clean, not
a great deal OF airing will be needed.
If the cellar is damp fruit and vegeta-
bles decay sooner, and it Is more I'M
healthful than is generally supposed.
Many attacks OF fever, diphtheria, OF
other diseases, result from damp, un-
ventilated, unclean cellars. Keeping
the cellar clean and ventilated is the
best way TO keep it dry; 1t may be nee
essary to use other means. Lime
placed in the cellar will absorb moist
ure and noxiOus gases, and thus help
to keep the air pure. Charcoal Is also
a great absorber of gases. The tenn
p~srature of the cellar may be lowered
by putting a tub of broken ice and salt
in. The rapid melting of the ice cools
the air. This Will be convenient when
a considerable quantity of fresh meat
or fruit is to be preserved. 1t is I'M
possible to keep the cellar in good con-
dition unless the drainage Is efficient.
and there is a proper arrangement of
doors and windows. Double ones are
needed to keep the temperature at the
right point IN summer as we'll as in
winter,

What Mother Says.

Now here s a hand-glass, let me try
If / can this time see
just one of all those funny things
My mother sees in me.
She says my eyes are violets.-
And what she says is true
But I think they are just two eyes;
Don't they look so TO you|
She says my lips are cherries red,
And make b'lieve take a bite
They never look like that TO me-
But Mothers always right.
She says zach cheek is like a rose;
And this / surely know,
1 never would believe it.-but
What Mother say is so.
She says my teeth are shining pearls;
Now that Is so very queer,
If some folks said it, why, I'd think
But then t was Mother dear.
I only see a little girl,
With hair that S rather wild,
Who has two eyes, a nose, and mouth,
Like any other child.
